STATE OF TRADE.

The week has made a favorable record for
trade. Cofiees are advancing and the buying
excited. There is increasing dullness in the
iron trade.
The perplexities In the railroad situation
have been either clearing way or are being
forced out OF the way Of trade by the sheer
necessities OF production and consumption,
and these reciprocating business elements
have been more and more securing necessary
readjustments in their relations. The Ma.
tional Railroad commission have introduced
no other innovations and business has been
accommodating itself to previous conditions.
Railroads are almost everywhere showing
gains In earnings. The Financial Chronicle
gives a statement OF the earnings Of railways
under the Interstate law, showing
an increase of traffic OF Is per cent. on 100
roads with an increase of 6 per cent in mile
age.
The decline in exports during the past week
has been marked, as has also the increase In
imports. The weeks operations show a
difference of about - per cent. l:ss In foreign
trade than last year.
The increase Of funds IN the United States
treasury for the week is, Of all kinds, So, 5i3,-
sos. Railroad building is rapidly progressing,
which is doubtless attributable to the inter
state law.
An increased acreage of wheat has been
sown In Minnesota and Dakota. About 3D.
000,0 600 OF last years crop is still available for
export. Seasonable rains have very materially
impoved the outlook for crops in the west.
The Farmers Review has the following report
to the 18th: 'Reports from the winter wheat
counties in Wisconsin indicate a condition of
Is to SO per cent. The spring wheat growing
territory gives the following figures: Ten
Iowa counties report an average condition OF
90 per cent, two report good, one above the
average and one below. From Minnesota
niue counties report the condition fair to
good. Seven counties In Dakota report a full
average condition, and the same is true Of
six counties reporting from Nebraska" In
Indiana and Illinois the crop reports show an
average Of 90 per cent. in fourteen counties
Of the latter state; in the former the average
will not be above rs. The crop news from
the northwest is encouraging.
The exports Of wheat from all United States
ports, from July l to May l, amount to 791,.

Stirs Up a Hornets Nest in the Camp Of
the Sucker Republicans.
SPRINGFIELD, H., May ls.-The invitation
extended to Senator Sherman by Lieut.-Goy
Smith, Speaker Paahouse and some fifty Re
publican legislators to address a Joint session
Of the senate and house upon national poll
tics, and his acceptance of the same, has
stirred up a veritable hornets nest. The
Blaine Republicans throughout the state, and
their numbers are legion, look upon the affair
as All attempt on the part Of a few people to
use the legislature as a means to advance the
Sherman presidential boom another peg, and
they are mad, In fact, very mad. Quite a
number OF representatives and senators have
been in receipt OF communications from
various portions OF the state commenting on
the invitation, some OF the writers expressing
in very forcible English their opinions of
what they regard AS an attempt to e%ngineer
u Sherman boom atthe expense OF Mr.. Blaine's
popularity In the state. Some of those who
signed the invitation are very much chagrined
at the feeling which has been evoked, but the
prime movers in the affair work knowingly,
and say that they know very well what they
are about.

CHICAGO, May ia bold plan Of cam paign
10 settle the great building trades lockout
by June l, and to strike a memorable blow at

afternoon. At a conference Of delegates
from every Building interest 10 Chicago, with
representatives present from the Illinois
Architects association, the Chicago Real Es-
tate board and kindred bodies, the members
OF which hire altogether probably $4,000
wcrkmen, n resolution wss unanimously

ture OF the following card OF principles by
the employe be made q universal condition OF
employment by all building interests Of Chi.

1 recognize the right OF every man to de-
eide fer himself without dictation or inter-
ference when he shall work or ceace to work
where Ia shall work for whom he shall work;
how many hours he shall work and for what
wages he shall work. / recognize the abso-
lutte right OF the employer to decide for him.

whom he shall employ or cease to employ;
to regulate and manage his business with
perfect independence and freedom, provided
only that he deal lawfully, justly and honor

every father to have his son taught and Of
every son to learn any lawful trade as on a
plane with his right to the knowledge Of read
Ing, writing or any other branch Of learning,
and should be subject TO regulation only by
the laws Of the land. / hereby pledge myself
In all my relations and iptercourses with nv
employers and fellow workmen to maintain
and live up to these principles.
There was no debate on the adoption Of this
measure, and action was enthusiastically
unanimous, but general discussion srrang up
when IL was proposed thai the same card OF
principles be presented for signature to every
employer with the pledge thereto changed as
follows:
hereby pledge myself TO maintain and live
up to these principles In the prosecution of
my business, and to lend my aid to the full
exteRt OF my influence and power for their
maintenance and protection among nv fellow
employers. further pledge myself not to
employ any workman except upon his sigma
ture OF this card OF principles.
When 1t was stated that the pledge meant
the discharge of every workman who did not
sign the required card, numerous objections
were raised, especially by contracting plas-
terers, carpenters and stone cutters, who are
getting along peacefully with their men and
expecting no trouble. All objections were
met with the reply that the card contained
nothing not guaranteed by the constitution
OF the United States, and that che country
has got tired by being shackled by labor
unions. At length a tacit understanding was
reached that the pledge should be voted upon
by the delegates individually, they then to 90
to their associations and urge its ratification.
The pledge vas thereupon adopted unani-
mously, necessary committees were appointed
and an assessment Of twenty-five cents per
member made TO meet expenses.

Commerce on Trade With Canada.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE department Of
state has received and transmitted to the
inter. state commission for It's in
formation q letter from United States Consul
Twitchell, a. Kingston, Canada, upon the
subject of interstate law, and it's
effects Upon our trade with Canada. The
CONSUL says: "Canada's high protective
tariff, in which there is no prospect Of a re-
auction, has made me apprehensjve from the
first of the effect Of increased railroad rates
on imports from the United States to this
section OF Canada. Since the 4th OF April
these rates are shown by freight bills here
paid to have been increased from 25 to 100
per cent, with the change on Canadian
rosas. After waiting thirty days for
vass of the importers OF the city of
Kingston, with the following result: Coal
dealers are preparing to bring from Nova
Scotia coal for all purposes where Nova Scotia
coal can be used two factories which have
always used American coal have put In their
orders for Nova Scotia coal; In hardware and
pressed tlnware ! find orders have been
changed from American to Canadian houses
on accout of freight; in groceries there is
some complaint: the products o. countries
outside Of the United States 1t is now ex-
pocted o get by way Of British Columbia and
Halifax. The unpleasant feature in cennec-
ton with my CANVASS has been the general
expression To fad now and where they may
make purchases without coming in contact
with American railroads.. With the general
national reaching out for trade, II seems to
me unnecessary TO prophesy what will be the
effect upon the American manufacturer,
wholesale dealer, and railroads by these
general inquiries"
